Is the Alcantara material on the carbon fiber sports steering wheel easy to maintain?
Alcantara® is an ultra-fine fiber fabric produced in Italy. In addition to its premium style and excellent feel, it features good slip resistance, strong durability, and is extremely easy to maintain. It is widely used in motorsports, luxury goods, and the aerospace industry.
Alcantara is actually easier to maintain than suede. Treating stains promptly makes them much easier to remove.
If the stain is a liquid like a beverage, use absorbent paper or a sponge to soak it up. If it is a thick substance like yogurt or jam, first use a plastic spoon or spatula to remove the bulk of the stain. Then, use a slightly damp white cotton cloth or a wrung-out sponge to clean from the edge of the stain toward the center to reduce the stain and prevent it from spreading.
After cleaning, let it air dry. Once completely dry, use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush the surface to restore the vitality of the Alcantara fabric.
Regarding cleaning agents, please use dedicated automotive interior cleaners and a soft-bristled brush to clean the surface. Avoid using cleaners that contain acidic or alkaline ingredients.
Finally, in addition to regular cleaning, avoiding direct sunlight, and avoiding rubbing the surface with rough objects or tools, please also ensure the faux suede remains dry during use. Xiaomi EV wishes you a pleasant driving experience every time you travel.
